Marcia Pappas, Kennedy-Basher, Heads to Ohio for Clinton
Marcia Pappas, the outspoken activist who called Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama a “betrayal" to women, is heading to Ohio Wednesday to campaign for Hillary Clinton.
Pappas, the president of the National Organization for Women-New York State, said her past comments won’t be an issue.
She told me this morning, “Certainly what I said drew attention temporarily, but I don’t think that it takes away from Hillary Clinton’s campaign. What we try to do is bring attention to the issues that affect women and via Hilary being the sacrificial lamb at this point in history, we certainly have been able to talk about sexism in a way that we have not been able to talk about it before. And it’s been brought out to the forefront due to the fact that I spoke out so vehemently against Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama.”
Pappas also disputed the notion that Clinton would end her campaign anytime soon.
“I have not heard any call for her to drop out. In fact, I’ve heard calls from people that I know for her to stay in and fight till the end.”

"Hillary being the sacrificial lamb at this point in history"
Hillary Clinton ain't nobody's sacrificial lamb, Marcia.
Do the best thing for your candidate. Stay home.
Hillary Clinton, you stay in this race. Do not back out. The whole world can see that blacks are voting merely for race. For godsakes, Obama's receiving over 90 of the black vote. Doesn't that speak volumes? I'm college educated, and I can see it all for what it is. During debates, Obama talks in circles. They ask Clinton all the questions first, and then he dumbly answers:"I agree with everything Hillary just said", "This is another area in which I agree with Hillary", "Hillary and I aren't that far apart on this issue". This guy is a piece of work. This is easier than xeroxing -- Obama doesn't even need the machine!
